i cant put that in my x220

yes you can

get a usb C to to A adapter

🤔

sabrj da-2 is nice for windows use

50$ though

but i'd just get a pixel 2 dongel

did you ever tried a pcm2704?

people really like the rose north forest on head fi

im really tmepted to try it

something with that chip

https://penonaudio.com/rose-north-forest.html

this?

yes

no detachable cable tho

"Waist rounded design and the surface gloss of highlights add radiance and beauty to each other, unobtrusive and unpretentious."

sounds good to me

where can i find the pixel 2 dac?

https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_headphone_adapter

nop

i opened the link and there's nothing but chromecast

not available in europe i guess

ye pixel isnt really avliable in alot of europe

tbh any cheapo dac is prob better than the x220 thing

maybe i should risk it and buy this one

i don't really know the difference between the small ones and this

here's a quick guide

1) do you need a dac

2) no you don't, so put that wallet away

1

the x220 has a garbage dac

my desktop is fine, tho

no its like a flowchart

then just buy the chaepest pcm2704

yes i figured that after i replied lol

i bought one already, but the left channel was fucked

didn't sound that bad, besides that

do you guys have a recommendation for burn in

is it a meme

I recommend 2 weeks

its a meme

2 weeks of pink noise at a moderate volume

But srsly it's mostly just you getting used to the headphone/speaker/whatever

@HEKTIK what about burning in amps/dacs

fuk off

Is there any basis for that

caps do have a break in time, but no capacitor manufacturer is sending out caps that arent up to spec

Oh lol

anything else is a meme

Always wondered why people say shit like thatn

pots can become slightly less stiff with usage i guess

because theyre delusional

Ye

people will find differences where they want

its just psychoacoustics

Like how zs6 are actually good :^)

ree

i mean that is more of an "ignorance is bliss" sort of scenario

Psychoacoustic developments are the future for audio really

Only so much you can improve a driver

zs6 aren't terrible

you just have to mod them a bit

and if you fuck up

who cares

they're only like ~$30

with audio there's two sides

1) driver burn in (loosening of diaphragms, but it differs per iem and per headphone)

2) "brain burn in" (getting used to the sound, psychoacoustics, etc)

driver break in isnt a factor

some iems from what i've seen have a very listenable easy to get used to sound whereas with others ive needed to have like 5-10hrs of listening to get used to it

practically no headphones have enough excursion to ever benefit from it, and if they are, theyre using bad or really obscure materials that i wouldnt really trust

>china

>materials I wouldn't really trust

checks out

nah they all just use tpe

cheap as fuck and great properties

you have to not understand materials, or just go out of your way to pick bad materials
